Livefyre was acquired in 2016 and became part of the Adobe Experience Manager suite of products. The product has since been discontinued, and is no longer available for sale.
Landingi is well suited for someone who needs to put something up in a hurry, who doesn't need to know anything about web development, and for someone who doesn't need to share their pages on Facebook! Ultimately, given its price and feature set, it's more of a tool for solopreneurs or those just starting out. To me, Landingi is quite good as a "bargain" landing page builder, but I would probably recommend anyone who can afford it to choose a more polished builder.

I was strictly the implementor of Livefyre (for my company only). That task alone was at least 3 weeks worth of work. From a user standpoint, Livefyre is a good product which is why this review is strictly about how difficult it was to implement. Therefore, if a colleague was to ask me if I recommend Livefyre, it's not a straight answer. Questions like, 'how fast do you need it?', 'how centralized is your user database?', 'do you want social login?', all come into question and were details that made my job not easy (hence, my review of 5/10 for suggesting it to others). Once implemented, Livefyre is a great product (notice my overall review is higher), but based on my experience with implementation, it certainly requires a senior developer's dedicated time and patience to set up exactly as desired. For smaller companies with small/simple user bases and websites, the process may be more straightforward, but from my experience, it wasn't out-of-the-box at all.

Some powerful features are left out of the Core plan that would be nice to be included (such as custom fonts and icons) - while Landingi needs to have incentives to get users to upgrade plans, it does add to the barrier to entry for smaller businesses who can't afford the larger plans right away.

Implementation was not easy. Although flexible, I personally wrote at least 1,400 lines of code to get this implemented over a few week's time.
The social login aspect is cool, but again, hard to implement. They did not write any of those modules, although they could have. This required senior-level developmental skills and a knowledge of how social media is interfaced with programmatically. Lots of questions arose from this and it was difficult to implement with virtually no help from Livefyre, other than to provide the hooks into their system for when users were validated. I had to write at least 2 separate login/redirection scripts to accomplish this flow.
CSS tweaking was tricky. We could override lots of common CSS classes, but to get things just the way we wanted it, I ended up writing LOTS of jQuery listeners and functions to transform the output into exactly what we wanted. This was a surprise since the software was sold to us as being 'fully customizable'.
Documentation was sufficient, but not great. Getting the flow of the callbacks that are fired wasn't clear at first, and sometimes did not work as expected.
It should be noted that, after this review was published, Livefyre contacted me stating they now have better documentation and process for implementation (for version V3, specifically) and urged me to revise this review. However, I can only write of my experience with V2, and it WAS difficult to implement over 3 weeks of dedicated time. Another developer on my team implemented version V3 and his evaluation is very similar to mine, claiming much difficulty with the CSS customization.
We feel we have a real partnership with Livefyre and we both make each other better. Their customer service has been phenomenal even during a time of rapid growth.

I haven't ever reached out to Landingi support, so I really don't know what their support is like. I just didn't want to give them a lower score since I don't know how good or bad it is. They've created a great product and I haven't had any bugs or issues, and have been able to figure out how to utilize the features I'm interested in by messing around with the interface or looking at their blog posts/updates.

Landingi is more affordable and overall easier to use than ClickFunnels and, in my opinion, just as effective for most companies. As an agency, we have found great value in using a tool that is more affordable and super-fast. Overall, Landingi allows us to put pages up fast, get leads fast and optimize conversions with a couple of clicks.

We felt Livefyre was more innovative and better at SEO. It felt like we were working with a partner for the long haul who was interested in our business and how to improve it.
Quickly im[roves the number of leads received daily
We fell more confident about our page designs because they offer the option to built a secondary page deign to be tested (A/B test), so the page that converts better stays.
Our clients are very happy with the page built with Landingi, as well as the conversion, improving our client retention.
